okay, day before primary.
we have four ag commish candidates running on the R ballot.
Matt Caldwell. NRA endorsed, looks like the most money but I heard he was ANTI TRUMP like Putnam was...then changed his tune when Trump won.
Denise Grimsely. Reminds me of Sarah Palin. She might even be trying to imitate her. Has a B rating from NRA, but has also run her own business. I respect that.
Mike McCallister. Retired army man. Running, it appears on a shoestring budget--which means if he is the nominee the Dems might be able to outspend him. He appears to be pro-Trump from the beginning though. What does he know about ag?
Baxter Troutman. Painting himself as a family man and Christian. Has a ranch. Might know quite a bit about ag, but am not sure. Looking to move up?
Troutman or Grimsley..................
Hi SFF, I’m going with Caldwell. He was a never-trumpet but at the time, stated he could never vote for Hillary or Bernie. It appeared he was against Trump because he thought he was pro-choice. He says he did vote for Trump in the general and has since boarded the Trump train. He has gone on the record saying that Reagan and Trump are the most pro-life Presidents ever elected. He also has the NRA’s endorsement. Easy Peasy decision AFAIC.
go with Caldwell. He’s the best candidate
Caldwell has my vote.
Biondi-what’s gonna happen to my secret lover?
Since they’re all *ahem* future worthless politicians, I think the proper choice is the Matt Caldwell due to his NRA rating. Those of us that live in FL need to remember that the Sec of Agriculture is the keeper of the FL Concealed Weapons Permit process. Only and NRA A or A+ make any sense at all for that reason alone.
Definitely not Troutman. He is poorly rated by the NRA. I am voting for Caldwell, who was endorsed by Matt Gaetz, but Grimesly is my 2nd choice.
He is without a doubt a true Trump conservative and was National Spokesman for Citizens for Trump.
The FL Ag job is important, they're the one's who issue the concealed carry permits. They also handle consumer fraud complaints.
He has an A rating from the NRA.

Four votes in our household going to Caldwell tomorrow!
Troutman, he mostly self funded and he has the most support from small farmers and cattlemen.
Always watch where the money comes from.
Haven’t heard the last from Pam.
Biondi..............She reminds me of the date from hell!
Spent hours researching ballot. I am going DeSantis Scott white and McAlister. Women seem to be pro choice. Not much on McAllister but what I did read, I liked him.
I voted Caldwell.
